De-Winterizing for the First Time!

Canadian_Tabber

Hi Friends!

We will be de-winterizing our T@B 320-U for the first time, and I just wanted someone with more experience to confirm the order in which we should be doing this. When we winterized, we did the blow-out as well as bypassing the Alde so we could add anti-freeze to the water tank. So I'm assuming that when we de-winterize, we first want to flush the anti-freeze out of the system by running the pump and opening the tap and outside hose (we don't have a bathroom) and running the tank dry. Then filling the tank with the bleach water and flushing that through. Then filling the tank with fresh water and running that through. Once we've done that, do we de-bypass the Alde (aka put it back in Camping mode) and we should be good to go? Thanks!!

Do you mean exterior shower (outside hose)?

With the Alde in bypass, hook up your gray tank to the sewer if available, turn on pump, open all taps to clear the AF.   When it starts to sputter (dry tank), close your taps, fill your fresh tank with water repeat.  After the taps run clear, then add the bleach solution and fill your tank again, open your taps until you smell bleach, then close the taps and turn off your pump.  (This allows the bleach solution to sanitize your lines.)  Let it sit for a few hours, then empty the fresh tank via the fresh tank drain, refill the fresh tank and use the pump with open taps to flush the lines until no more bleach smell.  Then return the 3 valves to camping mode.
